Year: 2956
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Characters: Mariko
Warnings: Nope
The summer she was four, Mariko was obsessed with bubbles. Gum, milk, soap, it didn't matter how, so long as there were bubbles.
There's a picture from that summer, where she's crowning herself Queen Of The Universe in the bathtub. If you tilt your head just right, you can see the light filtering through her soapy crown until the child begins to glow. Just for a second, you can almost believe the title.
Then it fades away to a picture of a so-solemn-she's-giggling little girl, crowned with nothing more than soap and make-believe and the knowledge that she is cherished.
